"...right, no, right...right?"
Lu Mian looked at Kiana who seemed to be asking for his opinion, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Just like the day when I unexpectedly met Otto when I started the simulation.
Chapter 46 The Road is This Way
I am really unlucky today.
What kind of tricks will be waiting for me next?
Kiana, who had stopped thinking and was lying on the ground, thought so as she looked at Lu Mian, whose smile was becoming more and more "unbridled".
If she were given some more time, she would probably be able to figure out the names of the ten children she was forced to give birth to.
However, the next second, the chains that bound her disappeared.
"Eh?" Kiana, who regained her freedom, still subconsciously flicked her fingers twice.
When she realized that she was really free, she stood up and looked at the still smiling man in front of her in confusion.
"Please don't look at me like that, Miss Kiana. You and I are strangers, so naturally we can't confirm whether we are a threat to each other, but based on the contact just now, I don't think you are a threat to me." Lu Mian said.
Hearing this, Kiana nodded subconsciously.
The other party had the ability to catch me but let me go.
It seems like there is nothing wrong with what he said.
After sorting out everything, the girl patted the dust off her body, then smiled broadly at the person in front of her:
"Although I don't want to admit it, what you said does make sense. I won't take your actions seriously~"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
Kiana knows clearly that the fact that there is no threat to each other does not mean that they have to travel together.
Besides, she still has to go find senior Mei, and the other party may not accept such conditions.
At this moment, Lu Mian's gentle voice sounded again:
"I know where the 'Raiden Mei' you mentioned is now, Miss Kiana. You don't want to spend more time looking for her like a headless fly, do you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kiana's steps, which had just been raised, also paused.
She turned her head and looked at Lu Mian, waiting for what to say next.
Seeing this, Lu Mian nodded slightly and put away the smile on his face, "I can help you find Raiden Mei, and provide you with some 'help' on this basis.
In exchange, I hope you can take me away from this city to a safe and populated place."
This statement is true.
As a person who had just been invaded by Honkai not long ago, Lu Mian was like joining the network constructed by Honkai.
Even if the erosion recedes, the trace remains.
Therefore, he was naturally able to sense the whereabouts of Mei Raiden, who had become the Herrscher, and use this to find her.
The terms of exchange were considered by Lu Mian.
Firstly, as a small town test-taker, he had never left his hometown in his previous life until his death. Without considering flying, he would probably get lost. It would always be a good idea to have Kiana, a guide dog and an excellent fighter.
Secondly, he knew that Kiana had a relationship with St. Freya's Academy. He wanted to cultivate a relationship with Kiana and see if he could go to St. Freya's Academy with her. This way, he would not be considered to have left the Fool's sight without permission.
Although the above are all assumptions, the interests involved are enough to motivate Lu Mian to take action.
As for the next question.
That is not something Lu Mian is qualified to consider now.
Kiana stroked her smooth chin, thinking about the "deal" proposed by Lu Mian, and suddenly said:
"How can I confirm whether what you said is true?"
Silence, nothing but silence.
The girl, not understanding what she had said wrong, locked her eyes on the man's handsome face, trying to decipher something.
But the other party just looked at her gently and said nothing more.
That look was very kind, very warm, and very caring...even her father had never looked at her like that.
After making Kiana so angry, Lu Mian said earnestly:
"Ms. Kiana, you are looking for Miss Raiden Meiyi without a purpose. If I lied to you, then I will only let you get the same result if I take you to find Miss Raiden Meiyi.
"The reward I demand from you can only be paid after I find Miss Raiden Mei. Regardless of whether it makes sense for me to lie to you, even if I really lied to you, it wouldn't cause you any loss, right?
"I can understand your vigilance and caution towards strangers. After all, I am the same, but I don't recommend that you use such unplanned vigilance again."
This explanation mixed with some education was very long-winded, and the tone was guaranteed to be understood by babies of any age.
Because Lu Mian didn't expect Kiana to choose such a question other than "yes" or "no".
This was beyond his comprehension.
Kallen wouldn't even ask such a question!
There is also a gap between Kaslana and me. I feel... I am far inferior...
And after listening to Lu Mian's long explanation and teaching, Kiana was able to keep her face calm and her heart steady.
He just clenched his fist and clapped his hands sincerely, pretending to understand something, "I think what you said makes sense, so let's go find Mei-senpai, shall we?"
After saying that, she pointed in a direction and prepared to set off.
But still no response.
It was only at this moment that the girl could no longer hold back. She turned around and was about to scold Lu Mian for holding on to her "little mistake", but she found that he was pointing in the exact opposite direction of what she was pointing.
"The way downstairs and 'Senior Meiyi' are both this way." Lu Mian said with a relaxed and happy smile on his face.
Humans do not share the same joys and sorrows, and Kiana only felt that this smile was very glaring to her.
Kiana: ???
-----------------
After leaving the unfinished building, Lu Mian and Qiyana walked one after the other on the broken street covered with hideous cracks, about three to four body lengths apart.
"Come to think of it, I don't seem to know your name yet. Please tell me your name quickly." Kiana looked at Lu Mian's back, as if she had completely forgotten the little embarrassment just now, and said half-jokingly.
She is really lively, cheerful, sunny and enthusiastic.
She's so dazzling, I hope she stays like this.
"Lu Mian." Lu Mian said his name without turning his head.
Hearing this, the ahoge on Kiana's head moved, and she was about to say something, but stopped abruptly.
It was because she relied on her good eyesight to accidentally catch a glimpse of a few advancing-level Honkai beasts not far ahead.
"There are enemies ahead, Amian, just leave the situation to me." Kiana hurriedly walked in front of Lu Mian and raised her arm to block Lu Mian.
After saying this, without waiting for Lu Mian's reaction, he raised his double guns and rushed to the Honkai Beast and kicked it.
Lu Mian looked at the familiar "Kaslana Gun Fighting Technique" and Kiana's fighting back, and suddenly smiled with relief.
Kiana is very agile and her fighting skills are very skilled.
After a while, she used her dual guns and fists to deal with all the Honkai beasts, and returned to Lu Mian who was supervising the battle.
He didn't breathe any more and his expression didn't change.
"So, so, are you deeply impressed by my handsome figure?" Seeing Lu Mian smiling, Kiana also asked with a smile.
Lu Mian kept smiling and pointed in another direction:
"Ms. Kiana, the road is this way."
"...?"
Chapter 47: Divine Grace Barrier
In the dark and narrow corridor, Lu Mian and Kiana walked side by side.
"Amian, do you think Senior Mei is really on top of this?" Kiana asked uncertainly, feeling the friction of clothes caused by the touching shoulders.
Lu Mian paused but did not respond. Instead, he touched the corner of his mouth with his hand.
Seeing this, Kiana was stunned at first, then she pursed her lips helplessly as if she had thought of something.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After a stalemate of three full seconds, she finally gave in, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her bare hands, pinched the air, and made a "zipper" motion near Lu Mian's mouth.
As this action happened, Lu Mian seemed to have his zipper really unzipped, and then he started to tease:
"Ms. Kiana, didn't you ask me to show you the way?"
Hearing this, Kiana stamped her feet in annoyance, "What are you talking about? Isn't it you who has to use this kind of thing to laugh at me?"
Lu Mian smiled brightly, but spoke rudely.
"Ms. Kiana, it's fine if you don't allow people to talk about your green play, but you don't even allow people to laugh?" he said.
"You, me, you..." Kiana was furious, but she couldn't find any reason to refute. Finally, she had to change the subject, "You are not allowed to call me 'Miss Kiana' anymore!"
"Yes, Miss Kaslana."
"Ugh—and don't call me 'Miss Kaslana'!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Hiss——#￥%@##@##......"
Lu Mian smiled as he looked at the "little monster" Kiana who hadn't said a complete sentence or a nice word for a long time.
He shook his head and started to control the temperature:
“With so many Honkai beasts rampaging, almost all the buildings have collapsed beyond recognition. Even the unfinished building where the two of us sleep has some damage.
"Don't you think this tall building is in surprisingly good condition?"
It was as if it was deliberately left there for someone to stand.
After hearing what Lu Mian said, Kiana came out of her angry state and raised her eyebrows to think.
Seeing her like this, Lu Mian didn't explain much, "Keep going, your 'Senior Meiyi' is waiting for you on the rooftop."
After that, the two of them climbed several flights of stairs in silence until they finally arrived at the door to the rooftop.
Kiana stood in the corridor, leaning against the iron gate and looking through the peephole, but saw only a delicate figure standing alone on the empty rooftop, as if overlooking the entire world from the top of the building.
She is quite tall, with long, soft wisteria-colored hair that falls to her waist.
Who else could it be if not Raiden Mei?
"It's really Senior Mei, Amian, you really didn't lie to me!" Kiana was surprisingly excited after finding the "Senior Mei" she had been thinking about.
He immediately opened the rooftop door and rushed to "Raiden Mei".
But before she could make any move, Lu Mian stopped her as if he had already guessed what she was going to do, and then pressed her into the corner.
Kiana hadn't noticed anything yet, and asked Lu Mian with a look of surprise on her pretty face:
"Eh?! Ah Mian, what are you doing? Why don't you let me go find Mei-senpai?"
“How can a delicate girl still stand on this rooftop peacefully after experiencing a disaster like Honkai? Besides, you, Kiana, have experience in fighting Honkai, so don’t you feel anything?” Lu Mian asked back.
Hearing this, Kiana looked incredulous:
"Amien, what on earth are you kidding... It's clearly the smell of Mei-senpai outside the door..."
This one sentence completely broke Lu Mian's chest.
My goodness, how strong must the smell on Raiden Mei's body be to completely cover up the fact that she is now a Herrscher.
He didn't try to persuade her, but just let Kiana take a good look at Raiden Mei through the cat's eye.
Kiana did as she was told. This time, she finally noticed something wrong with Mei Raiden, and also felt... the extremely high concentration of Honkai energy, which was the kind of Honkai energy that only appeared in the Herrscher.
